Aimee Ann contacted me out of the blue by e-mail, and I was initially skeptical of such cold contacts.

Not only were her emails professional and informative but Aimee Ann was able to make the process so easy. She wasn’t just some anonymous figurehead looking to “make a quick buck”. She has helped to boost my self confidence.

You have left me in tears. I have been sitting here all day trying to find the energy to write and your review has brought me back to what I love. I was sure it was a scam but I took a risk and am so happy it was not and that it was worth it!

S. Davidson, Author of Resurrection

Being a new author, I quickly became a prime target for less than scrupulous persons looking to scam me out of money with promises they never intended to keep. When Aimee Ann contacted me on E mail expressing her interest in doing a review of my book I hesitated at first, but something told me to reply to her E mail. It turned out my gut instinct was right. It is easy to see that Aimee Ann actually read the entire book before she offered the review.
